Abstract

This study investigates the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the private healthcare sector, focusing on clinics, hospitals, and private practices. It aims to enhance patient outcomes and improve organizational efficiency through IoT integration. Utilizing literature analysis, case studies, and surveys of IT and healthcare professionals, the research identifies benefits, challenges, and effective IoT implementations. The literature review encompasses empirical findings from the past four years, while case studies provide insights into current IoT applications in private facilities. Data collected via self constructed questionnaires will be analyzed using statistical and qualitative methods to reveal patterns and trends. This research contributes to understanding the barriers to IoT adoption, showcases best practices, and proposes strategies to maximize its advantages in private healthcare. The findings will inform governments, health technology vendors, and healthcare facilities in making evidence-based decisions regarding IoT technologies, ultimately enhancing service quality and operational efficiency in the sector.
